Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between sporting character structures and the goal orientation of young athletes. Sport has a positive effect on the character that begins to form during adolescence. It is predicted that the character formed through sport will ensure that the individuals goal orientation is positive. The study is important in demonstrating this situation. In this context, a total of 461 athletes between the ages of 15and 18 who actively participate in licensed sports in various disciplines and attend secondary school form the research group. This study is a descriptive study using the survey method. The study was conducted using a relational research design to determine if the variables change together and the direction of the change, if so. the Personal Information Form was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the adolescent athletes. In addition, the Sport Character Scale was used to determine the sport character structures of the individuals and the Goal Orientation Scale was used to determine their goal orientations. According to the results of the study, a strong positive relationship was found between the task orientation sub-dimension and the compassion r0.74 and justice 0.73 sub-dimensions. In addition, it was found that the sub-dimensions task orientation dR20.62 and ego orientation dR20.46 explained the athletic character structure. It was therefore shown that athletes with a high level of goal orientation also had a high sporting character structure. It can therefore be said that athletes who set themselves clear goals contribute to the strength of their athletic character structure.

 Bu araştırmada, ergen sporcuların sportif karakter yapıları ile hedef yönelimleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ergenlik döneminde şekillenmeye başlayan karaktere spor da olumlu yönde etki etmektedir. Spor aracılığıyla oluşan karakter, bireylerin hedef yönelimlerinin pozitif yönde olmasını sağladığı öngörülmektedir. Araştırma, bu durumun ortaya çıkarılması açısından önemlidir. Bu kapsamda ortaöğretim seviyesinde öğrenim gören farklı branşlarda aktif lisanslı olarak spor yapan 15-18 yaş aralığındaki ergen sporculardan kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen toplamda 461 sporcu araştırma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırma betimsel nitelikte tarama yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan bir araştırmadır. Araştırma, değişkenlerin birlikte değişip değişmediği ve varsa meydana gelen değişmenin yönünü belirlemek amacıyla ilişkisel araştırma deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Ergen yaştaki sporcuların demografik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Bununla birlikte bireylerin sportif karakter yapılarını belirlemek için Spor Karakter Ölçeği ve hedef yönelimlerini belirlemek için Hedef Yönelimi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada önce çıkan bulgulara göre, görev yönelimi alt boyutu ile merhamet r0,74 ve adalet 0,73 alt boyutları arasında pozitif düzeyde güçlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak görev dR20,62 ve ego yönelimi dR20,46 alt boyutlarının sportif karakter yapısını açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, hedef yönelimleri yüksek olan sporcuların sportif karakter yapılarının da yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Böylece sporcuların kendilerine belirgin hedefler koyması, sportif karakter yapılarının da güçlü olmasına katkı sağladığı söylenebilir.
